Enjoy the Music.com's Largest
Review Magazine In History!Plus I shoulda bought a high-end music system.
Stuck at home during Staycation 2020? Well then, it's time to buy a great hi-fi system!Editorial
By Steven R. Rochlin

My
coding fingers are raw to the bone! The April 2020 issue of Enjoy the
Music.com's Review Magazine is the largest we've ever done in our 25
years history! The many new writers we've hired are finally chiming in! Blame me
for not announcing every new hire, as we've been on a spree as of late and want
to take a moment to point out our youngest reviewer, plus a 'new guy' who I've
known for decades! Our youngest reviewer is Frank Garofalo, who is currently a
student finishing up his undergraduate studies at a local college and plans to
study cybersecurity at the University of Central Florida in the fall of 2020.
And while his system started small and on the budget side of the price spectrum,
like many of us, over time he slowly upgraded and his high-end audio system
evolved. You can learn more about Frank at this
link.

Another reviewer we have recently hired is someone I met
online sometime around 1996. He was asking for some magazines and so I sent him
quite the collection, gratis, so he could learn more about our hobby. The reason
I know this specific date is that Rogier van Bakel interviewed me for his
wonderful article about our hobby. His article titled 'Geek Love' appeared in
November 1996 (issue 748) of Rolling Stone. Rogier was an editor at Rolling
Stone, plus he's written for Wired and a few other prestigious
publications too. We are deeply honored to have him aboard. You can read Rogier
van Bakel's bio at this link.

Staycation 2020With many of us on Staycation 2020 due to the Coronavirus, I
am sure you're very pleased with your investment towards your high-end
audio system. As much as the financial whirled is still spinning trying to find
their footing, none of us can ignore the fact that we're staying at home. If you
operate a high-end audio store, imho now is the time to run a few sales and
deliver gear into homes. At the very least, drop the gear off at their home and
let them set it up is / as possible. With so many people staying at home, I'm
sure more than a few wish they had a better stereo system to enjoy their music.

The website Open Culture has an abundance of
great business
courses you can take free of charge. These
are University-level courses taught by professors from many different
educational institutions. Perhaps now is a good time to learn, or perhaps
refresh, your wisdom into providing a high-quality business practice. Below are
a few examples:

An Introduction to Consumer Neuroscience & Neuromarketing
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) - University of Copenhagen

Please take this time we have been given to build your client
list, plus sharpen your skills through educational courses imho. Over the years
many have asked me how Enjoy the Music.com seems to be everywhere, or at
the very least in offering so many things to so many people. We are perhaps the
only online site to regularly place ads within print publications, we sponsor
shows, we do giveaways.... And so much more! I'm truly humbled to have 11 other
publications as our partners, and we're in discussions to bring you more
publications within our site. This might be Staycation 2020, yet please use the
time wisely and benefit accordingly.

Now is the time to improve on the many
skillsets you already have, learn a few more for your business toolbox, etc. Enjoy
the Music.com wants to help out as we can, and so we just secured being sponsors for every major show within
the USA except, sadly, AXPONA. We did try, and you can read
more about our AXPONA 2020 situation at this link, as we do not want our readers to
think we play favorites as all shows and all top-notch magazines are invited
within our site to greatly benefit from our longstanding online global audience.
We love USA-based shows AXPONA, CAF, FLAX, and RMAF (to
name a few of many)... and we're perhaps the first online site to report
on the Frankfurt event decades ago, which is now HIGH END in Munich.

Some additional awesome news is that with this issue we've upped the editing
quality of our articles.
Yes this is loooong overdue, and much-needed!!! Since we're increasing our writers,
our gear reviews, and show reports, we also desperately needed to do a far better job at editing
too. Our goal is to produce the very best Review Magazine we can offer to benefit our readers, high-end audio manufacturers and distributors, plus
support every show we can to the best of our abilities.

Our reviews this month span from ultra-fi
Sonus faber speakers and incredible KEF active speakers to some very
reasonably-priced spectacular Schiit. We also have many 10 Questions For
Manufacturer articles too! I would love to name every new article and review
within our April 2020 issue, yet as best I can tell we are at approximately 30 new
articles and reviews for this month alone! And yes my hand-coding fingers are
tired! You read that correctly, as I still personally hand code this site as I'm
an old-school kinda guy to keep very tight control of the content, plus ensuing
the cleanliness of code that makes each of the 8000+ web pages load fast and
efficiently.

Everyone here at Enjoy the Music.com wishes you
are yours a healthy and prosperous 2020. I'm sure you'll love reading the most
extensive Review Magazine this site has ever published during our 25-year
history of helping music lovers worldwide to enjoy music.

This is also our April (1st) issue, and this being the year 2020 (04/20),
you
can bet we once again snuck in a few April Fools jokes too. :)

Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by the
recent Coronavirus outbreak. It feels weird, personally, as my daily lifestyle
is 'quarantine'. Am doing my best watch over and help our family of
writers, readers, and my longtime friends within the music industry. Thank you
to everyone who has been a guiding light, which has helped our humble site grow
into the 8000+ web pages over the past 25 years.
